It's amazing what the National basketball association has been able to produce thus far this season. Everybody's top pick the Boston Celtics and the Miami heat have shown up for battle absolutely demoralizing their opponents over and over. So now we are starting to get closer to the point where we will have to vote for our favorite all star basketball players and pit them against each other this spring in the NBA spring classic all-star game.
Last year the western conference led by all stars like Tim Duncan and L.A. Lakers Kobe Bryant scored over 120 points and slam dunked the ball to a victory thus confirming the dominance that the west has had over the east since Michael Jordan left the national basketball association.
"Use your aggressive feelings. Let the hate flow through you." Was coach Phil Jacksons advice for the big game last year and sure enough it seemed to work rather well.
Now you will have to vote and there are two ways to do so the first is to attend any basketball game this season as you will receive a ballot during half time and you can punch out the holes and chose a center forward, power forward, point guard, and shooting guard for your team.
Shaq has been the longest running center and player to be voted in each and every season since his rookie year. Even though he does not put up explosive numbers the fans love him and there fore seems to be worthy of a vote. Also Lebron James even though he is despised by the fans in Cleveland, Ohio certainly deserves a nod for his excellent performance thus far this season.
Also the all star rookie game will take place February 21st the Friday before the Sunday all star game. On that NBA weekend there will also be a slam dunk contest where the judges vote on a scale from 1-10 on the quality and unique attributes of the dunk.
Miami-Dade county which is also called Miami Dwayne Wade county will have their fair share of players in the game this year since Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosch are all the best respective players in their positions for their given conference. It should be rather easy for them to gel and play together to give the eastern conference back their edge since this nba season has given them more than ample practice together.
The interesting question will be which head coach will get the job. Since Pat Riley is doing back office operations and Eddie Jordan got fired from the Washington Wizards last year this leaves the question open to who will lead the east to victory as Phil Jackson attempts to do the same for the west coast.
Like the presidential race get your vote in for your favorite nba picks since this may be one of the best years yet for NBA all star action with the tide finally starting to even out where as it used to be heavily favored against the new underdogs.
